While this is great to stay at home, you NEVER get a break.
Your reaction is the same as any moms who stays home. Some days are NOT cool and you feel like a slave with no break.
I disagree with this. He does get a break...every night when I get home, he's "off duty" and hands my the baby. I am the one who doesn't get a break. That's ok with me...I'm much better at multi-tasking that he is.
Thank you everyone for your advice and opionions

While I understand your frustration....SAH M or D is a 24/7 job and not very glamorous. While this is great to stay at home, you NEVER get a break. Even when SO comes home.

I totally agree with you but, and I don't mean to start any controversy, being a working mom is no picnic either!! You have to do everything a SAHM does as well as everything a working person does (that is of course unless you have a nanny or something). I don't think any mom ever gets a break no matter is she is SAH or WOH.

Re: SAHM...am I over-reacting?
I can see why you would be frustrated
I have been on both sides of the coin-Dh and I both worked and sent DD to daycare, and recently I became a SAHM.
In our house things aren't your job or my job, we do everything together and share in all responsibilities.
Some days are just plain bad, DD is being extra cranky, I don't feel so good or something and yes DH will come home and make dinner and take care of DD to help me out and he also goes to school 2 nights a week.
I think what matters most is communication, he knows me staying home is no picnic and believe me, i don't cook everyday either and I know his job/school is tough too, we pick each other up and don't label certain things as "your job". There's less conflict that way and both us are happy and my house runs very smoothly. We don't want any resentment going either way.
But that's just me

Re: SAHM...am I over-reacting?
I'm a PT SAHM and I would never expect my DH to cook me dinner when I get home from work plus he isnt home anyway my mom takes care of the baby when I work and I dont expect her to cook me dinner either, LOL>
DH works long days 12 hour days so he pretty much doesnt do anything but he surprises me when he feeds her and takes care of her without me having to ask.
He does do his own laundry he is anal about that which is fine by me!!!! but I do the rest of the work around the house and I actually enjoy it.
I'm glad he apologized for saying mean things, my DH can get like that too, it makes me think men cant handle things as well as women
